Est: $600 - $1,200
Mary Cassatt (American, 1844-1926) dry point etching, "The Manicure". Showing a mother with child in her lap. Condition: Some foxing, spots, discoloration. Overall Size: 21 1/2 x 17 1/2 in. Sight Size: 9 x 7 in. #1132 Mary Cassatt was born in 1844 in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania. She lived with her mother in Europe from 1851 to 1858, studying in Paris, Parma, and Seville, before returning to America to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts from 1861 to 1865. In 1868 she had her first painting exhibited at the Paris Salon, and began to work alongside Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Edgar Degas, who invited her to join the Impressionists. Much of her early work was destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire of 1870, when she fled back to America to escape the Franco-Prussian War. In 1878 she sent two of her paintings to exhibit with the Society of American Artists, making them some of the first Impressionist works shown in the New World. From 1879 to 1886 she was one of only three women to exhibit with the Impressionists, and the only American woman. At the 1881 Impressionist Exhibition Cassatt first displayed pictures of the mother and child theme for which she is best known. After the final Impressionist exhibition of 1886, Cassatt began to experiment more widely, transforming her imagery with references to Old Master Madonna and Child paintings as well as Japanese prints. Gradually she abandoned Impressionist work for paintings that emphasized shapes and forms, as well as becoming increasingly involved in womens rights causes. Her relationship with Degas is still hotly debated today, as neither of them ever married but spent most of their artistic lives together, eventually falling out over the Dreyfus Affair and artistic disagreements in the 1890s, remaining close (but never collaborating) until his death in 1917. By 1914 she had to give up painting because of poor eyesight, and after her death in 1926 her reputation grew until she became one of the most acclaimed female artists of all time.

Est: $800 - $1,600
Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) was an American Impressionist painter known for her significant contributions to the Impressionist movement and her focus on depicting the lives of women, particularly the bond between mothers and children. Here are some key points about Mary Cassatt and her work:1. **Early Life and Education:** Mary Cassatt was born on May 22, 1844, in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh). She came from a well-to-do family and began her artistic studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.2. **Move to Europe:** In pursuit of furthering her artistic education and career, Cassatt moved to Europe. She studied in various European cities, including Paris, where she would spend much of her life.3. **Friendship with Degas:** Cassatt formed a close friendship with the French Impressionist painter Edgar Degas, who greatly influenced her work. Degas introduced her to the Impressionist circle, and she became the only American to exhibit with the Impressionists in Paris.4. **Impressionist Style:** Cassatt's style evolved to align with Impressionism, characterized by the use of vibrant colors, loose brushwork, and the exploration of the effects of light and atmosphere. She often depicted everyday scenes, focusing on domestic life.5. **Focus on Motherhood:** A significant portion of Cassatt's work is dedicated to the theme of motherhood and the intimate relationship between mothers and their children. Her paintings of mothers and children are celebrated for their tenderness and emotional depth.6. **Influence of Japanese Prints:** Cassatt was influenced by Japanese woodblock prints, particularly in her use of bold compositions, flat areas of color, and unconventional perspectives.7. **Exhibition Success:** Cassatt's work received acclaim at various exhibitions, including the Impressionist exhibitions in Paris. Her paintings were recognized for their unique portrayal of women's lives and domestic scenes.8. **Printmaking:** In addition to painting, Cassatt was an accomplished printmaker, creating numerous etchings and drypoints. Her printmaking work also often centered on themes of motherhood and family life.9. **Later Career:** In her later career, Cassatt continued to paint and exhibit her works in the United States. She also became an advocate for the purchase and collection of Impressionist art by American museums and collectors.10. **Legacy:** Mary Cassatt's contribution to the Impressionist movement and her portrayal of women's lives have earned her a lasting place in the history of art. Her work is admired for its innovative style and its celebration of everyday moments.11. **Passing:** Mary Cassatt passed away on June 14, 1926, in ChÃ¢teau de Beaufresne, France, where she had spent much of her later life. Her legacy as an accomplished Impressionist artist and champion of women's roles in art endures.Mary Cassatt's ability to capture the beauty of ordinary life and the emotional connections between mothers and children set her apart as a unique figure in the Impressionist movement.

Edition of approximately 45. Published by L'Estampe Nouvelle, Paris. The proprietary name Adriaan Rogge with a crowned coat-of-arms watermark. A very good, well-inked impression, inked in the manner of a monotype, with strong colors. Born in Philadelphia into a well-to-do family, Cassatt (1844-1926) spent most of her adult life in Europe (Paris mainly) and, along with Berthe Morisot, went on to become one of the most celebrated female Impressionist artists. Edgar Degas served as her artistic mentor for some time and in 1876 invited her to show in the next Impressionist exhibition, insisting that, "Most women paint like they are trimming hats, (but) not you." Cassatt and Degas initially had a close friendship (though they later had a falling out, not uncharacteristic of Degas' relationships) and it was under Degas' guidance that Cassatt developed her techniques in pastels and printmaking. Cassatt made 220 etchings, drypoints and aquatints between the mid-1870s and early 1900s. Most of her prints were pulled in editions of 25 or fewer, rarely was any of her printed œuvre published. While she relied on Degas for his technical printmaking expertise, Cassatt was deeply influenced by traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e color woodcuts when she began work on this and several other color aquatints in the 1890s which mark the pinnacle of her career. In 1890, she and Degas had visited an exhibition of Japanese art at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and thereafter she began collecting Ukiyo-e woodcuts (notably by Utamaro and his circle) and she determined to produce a series of prints based on these Japanese woodcuts. She wrote to the American collector Samuel P. Avery, "The set was done with the intention of attempting an imitation of the Japanese methods." While she focused instead on producing these as color aquatints with etching (with Degas' assistance), rather than woodcuts in the Japanese style, these mark a highpoint in Impressionist printmaking still today.
